"Over 35 years ago, I began developing a new tonal vocabulary for the piano that allows the higher harmonic overtones to speak as eloquently as the notes themselves.

But even more than the notes, there's a very special, spiritually uplifting energy that comes through. I also felt an inspirational attunement with Impressionist masters of color and tone like Monet and Ravel. I listened to this while standing in front of Monet's Masterpiece, Morning Mist Rising over the River Seine, and I swear I saw the sunlight dancing on the shimmering leaves. Peace of Mind makes it easy to "get in the gap," the space between the notes and between thoughts. Deepak Chopra and Wayne Dyer elegantly describe it as a space of pure potential and connection to the divine.

As soon as I sat down at the piano, I was instantly aware that my fingers were being moved across the keyboard by an unseen force. It was as if the music had a life of its own. Indeed, I felt like I was being played by the music rather than the other way around. These performances were completely improvised and recorded in one continuous flow that lasted almost two hours. When you hear it, I'm sure you'll agree that Peace of Mind is and a worthy addition to your personal library. This is the first album I've recorded in a super audio format with 96K, 24 bit resolution. I'm sure you'll agree that hi-def sound provides a breathtaking new level of audio clarity, richness and beauty. "
